A ridiculous specification. It was cheaper to get the cameras we normally use than fit the specification and get the grant. 50m night vision not useful in a farmyard, for recording cameras PTZ will only work with full time operators, better to get cheaper cameras and cover the area full time, 18x zoom again only useful if there is someone looking and able to zoom in on a point of interest.

I've got some ctronics Ptz cameras.
They're great, they 'rest' wherever you set them. For example over a gateway.
Then follow whatever comes in until lost, then returns to resting position.
Best bit is they're cheap as chips too.

Last lot I got off eBay as they're no longer on Amazon.

Pardon our interruption...

Looks out of stock with this seller, but it was the one in the link I got.
Might be it's an old model now.
I went for it as it had some optical zoom plus the other features.
